They put Jim Miller on the PPV but leave Grove and Brandon Vera off? WTF is that? Looks like a pretty decent PPV, but this is their second straight PPV without a title defense, that's not good. I hope Rampage wins, I never liked Keith Jardine's ugly-ass/

:laugh:, I hope Rampage TKO's Jardine in the first round and gets that LHW title shot in the near future.

Good to see some of the guys from the latest TUF season out fighting in the undercard like Nelson is.

 

[xtremebadass]

I for one can't believe Matt Brown is fighting on the actual PPV. He is one crazy son of a bitch

 

[Wordlife]

I know that's fucking insane bro...

Rampage will win this easily imo.... Jardine has no shit against him, easyyyy win for Rampage... maybe 1st or 2nd round knockout

 

[xtremebadass]

I swear if Jardine manages to win, I will be pissed. He did beat Forrest Griffin before, it's not like he's some sort of joke. Jardine is one mean fighter.


...Rampage is meaner though

 

[MTG]

I personally love jardine, he's exciting and humble really my type of fighter. That being said i doubt he'll manage to beat rampage even though I'm hoping he does. Overall it's a pretty week card in my opinion, the only fight other than the main event that I'm interested in is Gonzaga vs Carwin, the winner of this is going to be huge. Either of these guys could do amazing in the HW division. I also love matt brown hope he wins. I'll post my predictions later
